Disaster Recovery

Welcome to the USVI Housing Finance Authority's dedicated site for managing the Community Development Block Grants for Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR), provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

On this page, you will find resources to participate in a variety of recovery programs, as well as information on tracking and reporting the responsible use of these funds.

Hurricanes Irma and Maria had a devastating impact on the United States Virgin Islands. The two back-to-back Category 5 storms in September 2017 caused significant destruction to housing, infrastructure, and the economy. HUD's Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) provides funding for unmet needs after Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funds, insurance, and other federal or private sources are accounted for, with a focus on the needs of low- and moderate-income residents and businesses.
